by the summer of one thousand nine hundred forty nine lebanon jordan and syria had also signed honest disagreements with israel. the jewish state now extended over almost the whole of palestine. arab territory it was reduced to just a few small enclaves east in jerusalem and the west bank were placed under jordanian control. the gaza strip was to be administered by egypt. in the midst of defeat. conceived a plan that would change the future of egypt. a movement that would be known as the free offices. a few cathedrals about the hardware were different the road out of range. of

a black hole the level of copper. in the desert a lot of what i got aside that when they had the set of. fear. that led to see it in the sleep. washer could that a lot of. the of the samata way toward which many that i will welfare that are. three years after the end of the war the free offices struck. in july nine hundred fifty two they launched a coup de tat. egypt's king photo was dethroned and sent into exile. lieutenant colonel come on up to. the mosque to mine behind what was now cooled the july revolution quickly rose to be the country's to shock to lead.

in israel this news aroused deep rooted fears in kibbutz state who can bring time into home of israel's founding prime minister david banker. and. then gorean all the time feared that one day a new kemal ataturk would rise in the arab world and would unite the power of world against israel. and that fear of that prevention was enhanced when nasa to power ninety fifth. and february one thousand nine hundred fifty five ben-gurion returned to political life. this time as defense minister.

just a week after bangor ian took up the post one hundred fifty israeli paratroop as led by major ariel sharon. was sent to attack an egyptian army base near the city of gaza but. forty egyptian soldiers were killed. and many more injured. when bigger came back decided immediately to show that israel is not going to give in. this time a from the egyptian border the provocations and the attacks by inch of traders who are on the rise in. a tub the mass of a year or. the need for

a way in matters of some your himself from seem was the only gal in medina or. well some. are. claiming they were egyptian territorial waters close the terrans straight at the entrance to the gulf of aqaba to ships sailing to and from the israeli border. to strengthen his army north of salt more weapons from the west at this time to no avail. so in a surprise move he turned east. russia's new foreign minister mr should feel

off lost no time in taking a personal part in middle east affairs and he was soon engaged in talks with president nasser. egypt signed this huge arms deal with czechoslovakia which was actually the soviet union. to slovakia was supposed to supply egypt with two hundred aircraft. carrying six. thousand calories it was something fabulous. in november one thousand nine hundred fifty five angry and began a second term as israel's prime minister. at the top of his agenda was how to respond to the growing strength of egypt now armed to the teeth.

eight months later the opportunity came. when nasa announced the nationalisation of the suez canal. a decision that outraged the british and french the owners of the international canal company. it is a matter of life and death to israel. our quarrel is not with it still nationally out of work. it is with colonel not. that he is not a man who can be trusted. under green. britain and france were convinced that military intervention would be needed to recapture the canal. and bring down the upstart. but to pretext was needed. for us to say.

no was it of. authority and to assert our eally. i mean mossad i thought home a very i looked at the whole other assess him on how your club i'm in kill a plane and what that i mean by the how to kill myself with a shrug and yell i legged anybody contextless. because they're going to talk back. well listen to. that a yacht. enormous and. according to this tripartite secret agreement on the twenty ninth of october one nine hundred fifty six. israeli forces crossed the border into egypt. even though the israelis was still some distance from the canal britain and france

called for both sides to withdraw. when nasr rejected the ultimatum british and french troops began landing and put signs at the mediterranean end of the canal. night a statement not consulted in any way about any phase of these actions nor were we informed of them in advance. it is our hope and intent this matter will be brought before the united nations general assembly there with no veto operate in the opinion of the world can be brought to bear in our quest for a just in to this tormenting. by the end of december. under heavy international pressure. the

british and french were forced into a humiliating withdrawal from crude sallied. louvel attention now shifted to israel still occupying the whole of the sinai and the gaza strip. allow an apostle but won't go to zero a little incitements he. cannot up. east. in march one thousand nine hundred fifty seven ben-gurion finally ordered the israeli army to withdraw to the pre-war borders. however he had secured two major gains. the stationing of un

troops along the borders with egypt and gaza put an end to the palestinian fedayeen xrayed inside israeli territories. and israel was guaranteed free passage of has shipping through the tiran strait. the sinai complain gave israel actually about ten years of. signed peace. on the egyptian border between one hundred fifty seven and led the sixty seven there was a total call. but the fragile peace on the board has masked continuing hostility between cairo and tell of eve. in israel as advice men the commander of the air force was devising

a new strategy. operation focus. on one with some care the. if need be to its war a concept. that seems the most money and we won't see what the mission moves. in its leaf we only want to see you know the. but two things threatened to derail pat's plan. the first was egypt's highly versatile serviette made defenses. this network would soon face its first major test. not at the hands of fights mins after force but through the bizarre actions of an israeli peace activist. it would not involve the commercial

pilot and the gimmick for elections of one thousand nine hundred sixty five he bought a little airplane painted into wife and put the name peace and said if i'm elected to the knesset i would fly to egypt. he was not elected to villa small number of people voted for him but i did time he became very serious of this so one day without any announcement he took off his claim. ab in a tan planted import salary to egypt in february one thousand nine hundred sixty six. and it is. when is it and what it is. furthermore now tan asked to meet president. to deliver a petition calling for peace. egyptians treated him very nicely.

did not let him into egypt but the that can fill his tank is gather lin and sent him back. in a tense flight had revealed the weakness of egypt and defenses. but israel still had a major concern. to make twenty one. a high performance supersonic soviet fighter. it formed the backbone of the arab air forces. but it too would soon give up its secrets. in august one nine hundred sixty six an iraqi pilot landed in israel with his make . he had been offered a million u.s. dollars to defect. but it would turn out to be worth every cent.

that he shapiro our chief test pilot of the air force checked the airplane and when you all it's this event the gist of the make one to one which was the airplane of the war in the enemy hands. it was not known before what the israelis had learned about the meat was put to the test and actual combat. in april nine hundred sixty seven the border skirmishes with syria escalated into a full scale aerial battle. which shut down seven aircraft. it was such a victorian the israeli air force. in the weeks following this battle. reports possibly originating with soviet intelligence began to come in that israel was massing its on me on the syrian border. and the

current escalation that spurred not set into action. on the food thousands of may one thousand nine hundred sixty seven. fugitive gyptian troops into sinai. must but only as he had how to while a septimius a low blow. when no one got an a in the mail and foscari the door fee. i was lucky she. even when who bombed it was a lot. out to how well. that was all outdoor didn't work out. but snow said it also saw an opportunity to try to roll back the gains israel had

secured following the one nine hundred fifty six war. on the sixteenth of may egypt asked the un to withdrew its peacekeeping troops from sinai . a week later and the theatrical setting of a meeting with his fighter pilots and also announced the closing of the tour on straight to israeli shipping. news of nasr is actions boot people out onto the streets all across the arab world . tell me about a billion dollar slaves a little above. well a man in the wall of the finance. of the dentist because of so but it is

a shame that the bonus the bill but a bill that called the year. of. israel's new war cabinet under levy eshkol took the decision to open hostilities on the fifth of june one thousand nine hundred sixty seven. the air force was given the green light to known operation focus. the aerial attack it had been rehearsing for years. the israelis had trolled the dice which would determine the future of their state. territorial. ethnic divisions.

out on the even a team of the. but this egyptian show of strength was put to good use by israeli media. memories of the holocaust were invoked to persuade israelis they were facing a threat to their very existence. in a difference with the nazis. grandmother nothing was never mentioned by name in the hebrew media at the time it was called the egyptian tyrant it was his name. in washington u.s. president lyndon b. johnson issued a stark warning to which ever side should start the war. it was a thinly veiled threat to the egyptian leadership. it's all there

at the extra. hour is come out of them also. by you. neal. to. what to go away your thoughts. but have a. hell. and nationally but but above all i wonder how did anybody coa sawin. not to look up. well how did a slot in fox. in fact israel though apparently the underdog was far more prepared for war than any of its arab opponents.

israeli chief of staff it's have to be in the front line to meet troops waiting for a green light. on them is action of muscle is a hand to mobilize all its horses all is the horses. and also told thing we should strike first and the sighting first was in the eyes of his lengthen the what we thought. of the egyptians. because opening attack would be the much trust operation focus. and aerial strike to destroy the egyptian afghans on the ground. in the early hours of the fifth of june nineteenth sixty seven. the israeli

athletes prepared to deliver the first blow. rubric up there was a morning and came to the briefing room he wrote on the subject bodes zero hours which was serve him four to five. hundred israeli jets took to the app. they would have arrived over egyptian atheel but exactly seven forty five am. to avoid radar detection they flew fast north then west and with the mediterranean . turning south the planes came in from the north not from the east as the egyptians had anticipated.

by the tin again the bait going on with them it would get a. bit of a candidate because in a field that's a kind of a tense of alabama. with hostile call waiting away for. you know every single. very easy as you train the many many times before. his both of you are located very easy owns the ground and not far from there on was . was not a big problem to strike zone. immediately you so big torches swizz a smoke over olso so airfields. get

it when i matter and that melted feel eight layers minute a bunch of gauze and at home why i had gotten says if said a photon or mother want to hurt us a leg matushka i listen as a maybe from a semantic. i live. by midday the israelis had successfully attacked eighteen airfields. the egyptians had lost eighty percent of that have force. more than three hundred planes destroyed on the ground. but that the kind of.

society. ironically kyra radio was carrying false reports of the total failure of the enemy's air attack. with news coming in of egypt's apparent success jordan syria and iraq now launch their own ass strikes. and the. minute they have a show shinny but you know it was one hundred eleven and. that's a little point. i want to show isn't. remember. ineffective though they was those attacks gave these really is

a pretext to widen the scope of the war. operation focus was extended to cover affeldt in jordan syria and even a key base in iraq. age three although on a base from each they could launch is low and the only base in which we couldn't each with the last drops of. my serve fly to today. not far from damascus. when i made my first turn over the city oh for the most schools people who climb on the roofs and wave for us the people in the most those. caught off guard the syrians lost half the act kroft. the h three affeldt in

iraq was put out of action. and georgians after the spurs totally destroyed. by sunset on the first day of school operation focus had guaranteed israel total ass superiority and the skies over the middle east. the arab armies would now be fighting with no ass of course. the outcome of the war and been sealed. anything that there is no example in history of the world of the asian of such a total strike and the total tank. maybe the only time that it can compare to this bilawal the take home japanese totals hold place above that was almost that's him

aided the mental fleet in the pacific. on the ground egyptian forces were faring much better. they had succeeded in holding up the israeli army to tons and to sinai. yet the egyptian deputy supreme commander marshal ahmed was about to take a disastrous decision. its roots lay in his attempted visit to the front line the day before. meant to see me say. i was. beautiful gus gus i should be seen by bill hall at small. even gonna see me.

record they are. the. best stop him to it that's monk a theme they meant to say could obviously. miraculously the plane was able to return to cairo. but marshal ahmed had been shocked by witnessing israel's and supremacy at fust time and. the next day i met ordered an immediate withdrawal of egyptian troops from sinai. and which led to the total collapse of the egyptian front. the custom before michel therrien. shave it please him in jail who are very high

shoes by a story that's vague but it's annoyed them in the summer. so young me the dust ish young or you have to wear for long if. they. can one shot he said. if lead to last either at last call a by your vet listen a sense. share and it's a. big love with god that's a lot of him but stall the other. the fuck they saw him get will mean. a law you become by. by the fourth day of the rule israeli troops reached the eastern bank of the suez canal. they had occupied the whole of the sinai peninsula and the gaza strip.

solem the features of our class for me. let me look at the. buffer zone but it's put back the government and. were should know to have mellowed out at the start has as you. could have given was for. the previous day the israelis had also tasted success on that eastern front. ending the short lived rule launched by jordan's king saying. by eleven o'clock in the morning the first day visually after we destroyed the egyptian post but hussein didn't know into that thought on the contrary enough so called him up and said will winning will winning do your own share. he didn't. need a fence it was in the name of the doing but he conquered the hills along the government

tells it in danger that the sultan part of joe's on him and his forces were only by now a few hundred yards away from islam anyhow the cell phones and this is that. on the often news of the first day of the. israelis began their assault. against the jordanians. that box will soon escalate. and two days later the whole of the west bank and jerusalem fell to the israelis. then the. slim the so given that the whole of it. being. the vote of the vote the should be going to go to ben your news is awful and then. the cost

. will. with the wool but ovah on the egyptian and jordanian fronts and ignoring a un cool for a cease fire israel's high command now decided to secure its borders with syria. on the fifth day of war israeli troops began to climb the strategic golan heights. and. still the injection of the beneath it had but malays and will continue to have good reason to be a little more true that. the modoc of some almost and many of us to. escort them out and it's

a definite look at the i.d.f. and just really all about that possible. trudi yes she said that. but on the sixth day of the rule damascus radio made an unexpected announcement. syria had accepted the u.n. cease fire. with no advance warning given to troops fighting on the cover not the big. cost fatally undermined syrian army resistance. the man blamed for the army's collapse was the minister of defense. a man who defends tree rise to power in syria. hafez assad. the israelis pushed on and occupied the whole of the golan heights.

let me. bolts from he. did this yes he and that the on it for that he could. not but in the south but i. assume. at the end of the six day of fighting and only one attempt achieved all its goals israel accepted to the u.n. cease fire. the guns fell silent. the arabs had suffered a humiliating defeat. me a yet dowen. a no been a while you have if he hasn't. been many dead there the how

morally you can be. or look at it. and say to me ali. when i heard. a month of it arrest me. when i didn't see. all day long. here. he would be. more open and. under heavy popular pressure nasa rescinded his decision to step down from the presidency. and attempts to regain the lost arab territories began. israel

had tripled its size capturing the sinai peninsula the gaza strip the west bank eastern jerusalem and the golan heights. we tried everything we went to the united nations we tried mediation we tried to contacts with different countries and it was clear that all this was to no avail. the mood was let's give nothing back if you don't have to there are songs there were victory albums there were the huge intoxication of victory. this huge unique miraculous victory of the. in-depth war war the greatest tragedy in the history of islam.

the israelis basked in an aura of invincibility. but their victory was just the start of even greater complications which still plagued the middle east to this day . israel found itself governing and being responsible for a million palestinians in the newly occupied gaza strip west bank and jerusalem. to could vote six months to. live in nearly. all those. both in the west bank and then they came back and they said. there was other people there and they haven't there's not a movement. so. either we conquer them and create. a state or we huff the loaf to

move a predominantly jewish state called israel and the west bank and gaza should be a basis for future negotiations. addition of their rights to have a state of their own the viable state of the old in the west bank and gaza. what israel chose was and still remains the first option. in the aftermath of the war israel declared what it cooled the unification of jerusalem. the entire holy city was placed under israeli jurisdiction including christian and muslim holy sites.

we are the government and the only government in the area that is just a good we have obligations and privileges and duties dare obligation and fairly still maintain law and order and to provide the people with services and away she to believe standard of living as a garment like every government was its status and. furthermore and in defiance of international law israeli settlers began to move into the west bank the territory they called judea and samaria. the lands which they want to settle in who are the core and heartland of the jewish people in biblical times as rigid as an emerged as it was natural that there would be this messianic urge to settle those areas. even perhaps even clear out arabs

from these areas and this didn't happen but jewish settlements were placed there and this is made things much more complicated for peacemaking here. in addition to the west bank settlements were spreading in the gaza strip sinai and on the golan heights. and as the israelis tighten their grip on the occupied territories it became clear they had no intention of returning them. how. to get a u.-haul an earthly bomb to. ma muslims it will go on a block away and it will be that guy says an elephant could have a new block in the sleeve vietnam and the in a mop would be the whole cloth is a quantum of them the nickel box one of them that all too old to wear this. one is

to give me an optical what then yeah but in mock the folks like that. in october one thousand nine hundred seventy three after just six years the arabs aiming to restore their territories and their dignity would launch another war. israel was about to receive a shop remind us of the fun rehabilitate it do to ted concrete forever and the war of june one thousand nine hundred sixty seven.

well i was still got some of the unsettled weather stretched across australia from the northwest right doubts was that southeastern corner so making its way a little further race with i think we can call it somewhat disappointing there into south australia for adelaide and also from melbourne fourteen fifteen degrees further north it's not too bad it's oprah's been getting up into the low twenty's just sixty celsius there for perth the hayward is dry and fine and as i recount just pushing wind up towards that's a northwestern corner it will sink a little further south east which is because three sas day kind of getting

asks why is the system failing them on al-jazeera i mean this is different not whether someone telling for someone's face read that there's going to be a meter i think it's how you approach an official and after that is a certain way of doing it you can just by and inject a story and fly out. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm certain this is the news now a long way from london coming up i am totally prepared to walk away i did it once before the president also says he would consider inviting north korea's leader to the u.s. if the summit in singapore goes well by chance meeting with kim jong un looks set

to be a warmer affair than the upcoming g. seven summit with his allies. some also spends a search for survivors around mt for a year saying rain and hopped a volcanic material make it too dangerous and nothing says it's curiosity rover has found potential building blocks of life on mars. and obviously evident of all with today's sports news including tame time french open champion rafa closes in on a road and girls title that are motivated with news. the u.s. president says he may invite north korea's leader kim jong states if negotiations between the neatest goes well he also said it was possible they would reach an agreement to end the korean war the whole chunk was speaking after meeting japan's prime minister ahead of next week's summit in singapore. has been seeking

reassurances that japan's grievances against pyongyang will be raised especially the issue of alleged japanese. jump also held up the threats of further sanctions against pyongyang if the negotiations fail maximum pressure is absolutely in effect we don't use that term anymore because we're going into a friendly negotiation perhaps after that negotiation i will be using it again you'll know how well we do in the negotiation if you hear me saying we're going to use maximum pressure you'll know the negotiation did not do well. times out of our that are so not glossy that short. president trump you're about to make a new history not only japan but the whole international community is strongly looking forward to the united states north korea summit to open doors toward peace and stability of northeast asia and north korea abounds with rich natural resources

north korea has diligent work force if north korea is willing to take steps toward the right direction and north korea can see a bright future ahead for itself let's get more from alan fischer our correspondent in washington d.c. it's all systems go for this summit in about five days alan but doesn't trump also slightly hedging his bets. exactly all systems go until don't trump says no he's essentially said he could still polo even at the last minute but we know the advance teams from the u.s. state department and the white house are in singapore at the moment as presumably are the words from north korea and they are discussing venue and agenda and important things like that donald trump's messaging is slightly confused he is saying that this has been a problem that should have been sort of don't buy many presidents in the past not just barack obama and he said he can solve it but then he's saying we could come up with a big dance

a big surprise or there might be no solution to this at all you might walk away it might be difficult but certainly his intention is that he is going to move north korea towards denuclearization that is his goal and he's holding out the cavite of saying look there could be international recognition there could be money coming into the country there could be investment it could be very good for north korea or he said i have a list of three hundred more sanctions that we can put in place as he just wanted to make sure that important issues for the japanese government were put on the agenda the dog didn't forget about them then get caught up in the moment of making history of being involved in this great historic summit and thought of things like the long range and medium range nuclear bullet long range and medium range ballistic missile program that the north koreans that run but also these alleged of abductees at least twelve japanese citizens who disappeared in the seventy's and eighty's in the japanese are convinced were abducted by north korea they want that

issue at the top of the agenda and that is why shinzo i.v. was here because he'll get face time with donald trump at the g. seven he wanted to sit don't face to face and say look you have got to raise this and from what you were seeing at the news conference he seems to have left with assurances that donald trump will undoubtedly raise that in the first few hours. his meeting with kim jong un about an hour after the press conference with the japanese prime minister and we then had the secretary of state might compare speak for the white house and one of the things he said was the only result that would accept was full the new courier ization when it came to the summit that's always been a sticking point as an especially with what's been said in north korea about what does that mean the americans will completely pull out from the border and they will no longer be any military exercises is that how at the moment your reading going into this is going to be the crucial question with this summit. well there's

a couple of things you got to remember when it comes to discussing this first of all denuclearization is a town that the north koreans didn't invent but they've certainly use predominantly it is their terror it is about removing their nuclear weapons but also removing u.s. forces away from the korean peninsula is that likely to happen probably not so is the room for negotiation there very probably but the other thing you have to remember and this is important throughout the election campaign that even know donald trump says we spend far too much money protecting other countries look at the size of the forces we have on the d.m.z. the border between north korea and south korea and so he would like to reduce that commitment because that also reduces the cash outlay that the united states play and also reduces their military budget although the money would probably go elsewhere so he would be very keen to see some sort of answer in this summit that would reduce the dependency on u.s. troops on the d.m.z.

so denuclearization many people see that as a loaded term will he accept something less than that he would probably be happy with a good deal he would probably be happy with something that he can sell to congress and he would probably be happy with something that might give him an a chance of winning a nobel peace prize good to get your thoughts on this helen fisher there speaking to us live from washington d.c. meanwhile the united nations says human rights must be on the agenda next week's came trying summit it has chain many north koreans don't have adequate access to food with ten million people relying on humanitarian aid un's special envoy on human rights in north korea says prisoners should be freed as a gesture of good well i'm not being human that human rights dialogue. undermined the opening and the talks under the new kerry sation at all i don't

think that he said the limit. on the contrary i think that from then korea side to show a willingness to open to to open up to the human rights mechanisms will give them could the ability in their intentions to engage with different stakeholders in their intention to denuclearize the price. and it will play in their favor differently and it was like trying to get a warm reception at his meeting with kim jong il that he will from his g seven allies in quebec on friday the leaders of france and canada formed a united front ahead of what's expected to be a tense summit emanuel macro and justin trudeau are both harsh critics of trunks decision to impose tariffs on stale minium and say they will not be intimidated by the u.s. john hendren has more from quebec city. the gathering of world leaders was supposed to be is celebration but instead of highlighting the global economic expansion the

talk at this year's g.'s evans summit is all about averting a trade war. the great disruptor donald trump in his america first agenda levying tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on aluminum coming from allies in canada mexico and europe the trouble ministration has managed to alienate systematically almost all of the allies who would be involved in this so canada mexico the european union or new additions it's going to be a tense meeting i would imagine canada's prime minister displayed diplomatic anger and announced retaliatory sanctions somehow this is insulting to them the idea that the canadian steel that seven military military vehicles in the united states the canadian aluminum that makes here at your fighter jets is somehow now a threat the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and

unacceptable europe's leaders are also irate and threatening sanctions on a litany of iconic american products from levi's jeans to kentucky bourbon to harley davidson motorcycles. all made in the republican staged needs to keep his party in control of congress in this year's midterm elections at a news conference on thursday french president emmanuel mccrone and signed a joint statement of multi-lateralism a show of unity before an expected confrontation with a unilateralist u.s. president sort of. in terms of trade i'd like to say to president trump that the measures taken are counterproductive even for his economy. for me it's a question of principle we can't wait to trade war between friends so we own. going in hamburg when we had the g. twenty we had to be nineteen plus one on the climate's us did not want to commit to the power sic remans when you're saying that mr trump doesn't really care perhaps

that's the case but nobody lives forever our country's in the commitments we've taken what extend beyond our lives instead of celebrating their usual unity diplomats from seven of the world's largest economies are scrambling for common ground there was consensus under trump's predecessor barack obama on iran and climate change now there's a budding trade war that threatens to turn allies into adversary but some analysts expect a last minute agreement to avert an escalating trade conflict it's mostly done for posturing because sees this as part of his base is particular the swing voters in midwestern states that got him elected and he wants to show or pretend that he's doing something but again i don't think these terrorists will stick with a family photo of world leaders that traditionally ends the meeting depicts an awkward alliance with the usual show of unity is largely up to the man from

washington john hendren al-jazeera quebec city let's talk more about this with barry pavel who is director of the brant scowcroft center on international security . council he joins me now live from washington d.c. thanks very much for coming on to al-jazeera as john was saying there it's almost like president trumps telling the world that side down now taken ising in the allies over everything from terror of sun and climate change in iran dalan making nice with authoritarians could this calculation backfire. i think it's already backfiring we saw the statement today from six of the g seven i called it on twitter the birth of the g six where they signed a statement talking about common values free trade rule of law longstanding ties i mean the united states' actions are serving to self isolated and.
